is this good tool to remove spark plugs and tire nuts bolt or better get a 10-150-Foot/Pound torque? thank you

I think so. I got it just for torquing down the lug nuts. It has enough leverage to remove the lug nuts as well. As far as spark plugs, I think it'll work if you have some various length extensions available, if you need them. It's a long torque wrench, so you'll have plenty of leverage.

This torque wrench would be overkill for spark plugs in most standard vehicle engines and most car and light truck lug nuts torque below 150 ft/lbs. You can find torque values for your vehicles spark plugs and lug nuts online the select the torque range that best fits your needs. I purchased the Tekton 24340 torque wrench for working on my tractor and 5th wheel trailer so I need the higher torque capability.

Although this and other torque wrenches have a reversible ratchet head, do not use them to remove any items (use a standard wrench). Use the wrench only to torque a fastener when installing. To install spark plugs you will need a smaller size (3/8" drive) torque wrench.

A torque wrench is not needed to remove bolts or lug nuts. Some Ford spark plugs use a torque setting so you don't break the plugs. I really like this model for heavier jobs a smaller torque wrench would be good for spark plugs.

You are better off with the 10-150. most cars spark plugs foot/pound range from 7-20

This torque wench is not designed to measure torque for counter clockwise rotation but will loosen most fasteners. A regular 1/2 inch ratchet will do for the task you mentioned. The torque wrench will measure torque on clockwise rotation.

The wrench is a variable speed but I do NOT think it adjust the torque at lower speeds...I have used this tool to remove and place tires and wheels off a 1 ton dually, does a GREAT JOB!!!

That is not what this tool is designed for. Lug nuts on a car require a 1/2" drive tool with H.D. torque

Yes, if it works as a torque wrench (mine didn't) then it will work for spark plugs.

As long as the majority of what you are tightening is away from the edge of this torque Wrench's range it should work well for you and offer a wider ranged of use. If you are torquing stuff that is under 25 foot pounds you will probably need a 1/4" or 3/8" torque wrench to get the lower range. I prefer this wrench for the stuff you have described.

This tool is not designed for lug nut application of removal. It is a great tool but has nowhere near the appropriate torque.

Highly unlikely. I used it the other day to run a nut down on a 1/2" stud to hold a vice to a metal bench. It worked well, BUT, taking lug nuts loose from a car is a different thing altogether. The electric impacts that can typically have 1/2" square drive for sockets and usually have at least 300 ft pounds of torque.... as good as this Dewalt impact drive is... it's designed around a 1/4" collet/he drive and has torque in the area of inch pounds, not foot pounds .

Definitely. You will need an adaptor that the drill will hold, and accepts 3/8" or 1/4" drive sockets. I have driven lag bolts and used it on automotive and other mechanical applications as well. It packs a surprising punch, but if the load is too big, it does have its limits. I say try it and see what happens. Excellent tool.

The tool is good but it needs sufficient air pressure (psi) to remove large nuts on a wheel, as in your tractor. I needed to go to a dealer ( Sears) to get any real information on torque and or power. It is always returnable to sears, but it still requires trips to the store or return trips if it has insuffiicient power to do the job. ( good compressor, and high torque gun is the answer. Good luck...RJB

Yes, the torque specs for your wheels are 80 ft lbs. This wrench will do up to 150 ft lbs. For personal use at less than 120 ft lbs, this will last you a long time.

The handle is big enough for you to get as much torque as needed without extra leverage. The danger for its intended use is that you can get TOO much torque on that little 3/16" nut and strip the threads. Use blue Locktite on the threads and tighten until snug, just not "a little extra". You will be happy with the results. This is a good tool.

No, it is not an impact driver. It is just a drill/driver. It has 310 in-pounds (inch) of torque, insufficient for what you need. An impact driver has roughly 1400 in-pounds of torque, better but not quite. An impact wrench might be more of what you need. An Impact wrench can be 300 ft-lbs (4200 in-pounds). You may have to talk to someone at AutoZone or something similar. Hope this is helpful, Harry the Scrapper

Used this tool twice with no problems. I would say you will have plenty enough torque.

This is the 300 FL/LB version. I bought this to swap over my winter and summer tires. It breaks the lug nuts loose with plenty of power to spare. I am not sure on the torque being attained with the 3.0 amp hour battery, I use the XR battery on all my 20V DeWalt power tools.

Hello Jamie. More than enough to remove lug nuts. For my aluminum rims the nuts are at about 100 ft lbs. The impact wrench in this set goes up to 650 ft lbs. There is an adjustable setting on the wrench so you do not over torque the nuts. Not sure on the warranty but I did call Ingersoll Rand customer service right after receiving the wrench set to ask about caring for them. ( oiling and such) very nice and very helpful. This is a great set and I really don't know how I managed without it. Hope this helps>:)

As another person answered, it is best to break the nuts free first with a breaker bar and finish by tightening with a torque wrench. This tool has a maximum 1,650lb/in of torque, which converts to 137lb/ft. Most 1/2" impact wrenches (this is an impact driver not wrench) have in the neighborhood of 300-400 lb/ft of torque. Of course, pneumatic impact wrenches can have well over 500lb/ft.

I assume you mean 27mm socket. You will need a socket in 1/2 inch drive. If the torque is 150 lb ft or less this wrench will work.
